Catalyst 3750 Switches

I have 6 Catalyst 3750 switches in stacked configuration running IOS version 12.1(19) EA1.

I need to know if EtherChannel can be configured between ports from different switches. It took the configuration, For example, here is the config

interface Port-channel1

switchport trunk encapsulation isl

switchport trunk allowed vlan 2-4,9,254

switchport mode trunk

no ip addres

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1

switchport trunk encapsulation isl

switchport trunk allowed vlan 2-4,9,254

switchport mode trunk

no ip address

channel-group 1 mode on

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1

switchport trunk encapsulation isl

switchport trunk allowed vlan 2-4,9,254

switchport mode trunk

no ip address

shutdown

channel-group 1 mode on,

-----------------------------------------------

Now, observe the Spanning Tree outputs on port-channel, gig 1/0/1, and 2/0/1

show spanning-tree interface port-channel 1

Vlan Role Sts Cost Prio.Nbr Type

---------------- ---- --- --------- -------- --------

VLAN0002 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

VLAN0003 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

VLAN0004 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

VLAN0009 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

VLAN0254 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

show spanning-tree interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/1

Vlan Role Sts Cost Prio.Nbr Type

---------------- ---- --- --------- -------- --------

VLAN0002 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

VLAN0003 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

VLAN0004 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

VLAN0009 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

VLAN0254 Root FWD 3 128.472 P2p

show spanning-tree interface gigabitEthernet 2/0/1

no spanning tree info available for GigabitEthernet2/0/1

Why int gig 2/0/1 wouldn't give any info on spanning-tree. Really Wierd.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Yes it is possible to configure an etherchannel across the stack. It is known as a cross-stack etherchannel and is described in the "Configuring Etherchannel " section of the 3750 Config Guide.

oh, gig2/0/1 is not providing any STP info because it is shutdown. At least that is what is shown in the output you submitted.

I sent the configs with the port shutdown. But I unshut it, and still no information on STP.
